Best Banana/Banana Nut Ice Cream Ever!

8 small ripe bananas

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

2 ½ cups whole milk

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup light whipping cream

1 cup chopped almonds

Place bananas in a food processor; puree until smooth.

Stir sweetened condensed milk with pudding mix in a large bowl. Stir in banana puree, whole milk, heavy whipping cream, and light whipping cream until smooth. Chill pudding mixture in freezer for 1 hour, scraping down sides and stir after 30 minutes.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer s directions until it reaches soft-serve consistency. Gently stir in almonds. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
